Springtime in Didsbury


Well, what a great day in the neighborhood...sun is shining, streets are full of daffodil's, air is crisp and clear and life is good. Here's a pic of my visit to Mr.Darcy's "Pemberley" last fortnight...how wonderful..went in for soup and tea on a wet, misty day with Mary and her assorted family members...how great to trudge through the muck of farmer's fields, chasing away spray painted sheep, and come up on a view of this! How clever the various assorted steps built to get over and around stone and barbwire fences, all in the name of public rambling, walking, hiking, etc. Very delightful and was told the perfect way to enjoy the English countryside, with a good raincoat and friends to pull you up out of the accidental slide into the occasional bog...

Ah I remember the spray painted sheep from Ireland. Every once and a while I see an Aran-Knit sweater with a tiny tuft of bright pink or blue, and think: AHA! I know what that's about. :)

How are Mary and her family doing?
